The Union Cabinet is expected to consider approval for two large elevated road projects in Varanasi costing nearly Rs 25,000 crore. The proposals are the Ganga Elevated Corridor and the Varuna Corridor. According to reports, the Ganga corridor is planned as a 46-kilometre elevated highway along the riverfront. The Varuna corridor is planned as a 43-kilometre elevated link connecting two national highways. Both projects are intended to reduce traffic congestion in the city by improving mobility and connectivity. The sources also link the projects to tourism development in Varanasi, describing them as measures that would support easier movement for visitors. While details of the timing of the Cabinet decision are not specified beyond that it is “likely,” the coverage is consistent on the projects’ names, scale, overall cost estimate, and the broad transportation goals. If approved, the projects would represent major infrastructure investments aimed at reshaping road movement in and around Varanasi.
